Technique of this month is the Embossing Crackle technique, also known as the Cracked Glass technique. A very nice technique that I had not been doing for a long time, so it was fun creating something with it!

Step 6: When the images came out of the freezer I bended them backwards a bit until the surface cracked. That happens very soon when your embossingpowder is as hard as it is now. I sponged the surface a bit with some Ink to make the cracks more visible

Step7: With the Layering Circle Framelits I diecut some matching Scallop Circles. I adhered the images on top of it. This framed the images and made them look nicer. Now they were ready to use on my cards.

I stamped the backgrounds with the Buffalo Check Stamp and added some extra lines with my Watercolorpencils. That's a bit more subtle than the Stampin'Write Markers with which you can draw the lines too ofcourse.

The Beautiful Sentiments were made with the Merry Christmas Thinlits and the matching Merry Christmas to All Stampset... Woww I love that bundle zo much... You can make all kind of Christmassy Sentiments and they are just GORGEOUS to look at!

I hope you like my version of this technique! It is really great to make and customize your very owmn embellishments, and the Cracked Glass technique makes them look so special. An Eyecatcher like this makes your card stand out, even though the rest of the card is quite simple!
